In probably our most scandocious episode yet, we are joined by the world's best bike rider Greg Smith to talk Bad Books' song Pyotr. The indie jam tells of an alleged affair Tsarina Catherine (not Catherine the Great) had which was later discovered by her husband Tsar Peter the Great and ended with rather macabre results. A brief discussion of 17th Century Russia, Peter the Great, St. Petersburg, and the supposed legend surrounding this event ensues. Громъ побҍды, раздавайся!
